Singleton Ford in the Hunter Valley is luring motorsport fans into the showroom with a SuperCheap Auto liveried Mustang.
Mustang replaces the FG X Falcon at the end of the 2018 Virgin Australia Supercars championship, with homologation performed by Dick Johnson Racing/Team Penske and Tickford Racing.
The standard road-going Mustang and 26-year-old driver Chaz Mostert drew a 200-strong crowd at Singleton Ford on the weekend, which dealer principal Robert Inall is very pleased with.

“We all know the Mustang is going to be in Supercars next year, so what better way to support and promote that idea than to do up a car that was going to replicate what Chaz is going to be sitting in next year,” he tells Supercars.com.
The 2014 Bathurst 1000 winner, Mostert took six competition winners for a drive in the stickered-up ‘Stang and congratulated another for winning a hot lap with the currently 11th-placed driver.
“The Mustang coming out this year to be running in the Supercars Championship next year is very exciting for us Ford drivers,” Mostert says.
“To see the new shape and Ford direction, and Ford getting back involved in the series, is very exciting as well.”
“It takes you back to the days of Dick Johnson…racing the Mustang around Bathurst,” he adds.
